In
line with Unipak Tissue Mill’s commitment to public service and community
support, the jumbo tissue roll manufacturer donated funds to the Lebanese Civil Defense
Department and Red Cross.

The
Lebanese Civil Defense Department and Lebanese Red Cross offered
Unipak Tissue Mill employees training sessions to enhance health and safety
precautions at Halat-based plant in Lebanon. These trainings equip employees
with the knowledge to handle crisis situations and steps to take to prevent
human casualties and property loss in case of fire or injury.

The
trainings and donations coincide with Unipak Tissue Mill’s long-term goal to create a sense of
solidarity between employees and the Lebanese Civil Defense Department and
Lebanese Red Cross. By instilling social responsibility, the Lebanese tissue mill motivates
employees to join local association volunteer programs and activities.

Three
teams consisting of 15 persons each from Unipak Tissue Mill department
participated in the trainings to learn about fire fighting and first aid
processes. In addition to safety people, Unipak Tissue Mill intends to
ensure that at least 5-trained persons be available each shift at the plant,
possessing the necessary know-how to ensure safety precautions.

The
Lebanese Red Cross (LRC) provided UTM team with a 3-day training from 21 - 23
August 2012, at Red Cross Center in Jounieh, to learn more about necessary
emergency preparations to support victims in any sort of disaster. LRC, a
humanitarian non-profit organization, serves the society and alleviates human
suffering with neutrality and without any racial, sexual, social, religious or
political distinction.
